Here’s a taste of what’s on tap today at the Beard House.

Jordan and Alice Lloyd, Bartlett Pear Inn, Easton, MD
Jordan Lloyd, who cut his teeth at Per Se and Citronelle, now steers the kitchen at Bartlett Pear Inn, an 18th-century property that promotes Chesapeake Bay cuisine. Together with his wife, who oversees all things business, Lloyd is bringing a taste of what has made their inn a critic and community favorite.
